It is definitely "Good Gumbo Weather" down here in the South this week.
What we call "Good Gumbo Weather" is anything under 60 degrees! And a good rainstorm usually helps too!
I awoke to 31 degrees! Time to get a roux going and make a pot of gumbo!'
How about ya'll? What do ya'll like to cook and eat when the weather gets cold?

I have a lot of okra in my freezer. Lots of my family had gardens over the summer and gave me lots of it.

@kellyr634 Lucky you! If at least I could find fresh okra once, I will try to plant the seeds in my garden.

When I was out earlier the town clock said 18 degrees F and once I got home I put on a pot of soup. Definitely a soup kind of day (or gumbo in your neck of the woods)

And the most important part about a gumbo is getting your roux right. I like it dark, but some like it light.

@kellyr634 So true, the roux is very important, I like it medium dark.

Beef stew is always good in the winter. I made homemade pea soup last night, it was so good on such a cold snowy night.

I love a good beef stew too!
I have never tried making a pea soup before, it sounds pretty good.

@kellyr634 If you like peas you will probably like pea soup. And it's really easy to make.

@fishtiger58 I do like peas, and my family loves them too. I may have to look up a recipe to try this weekend.
